S&S Cycle - Vintage Motorcycle TECH TALK

Pretty much anything not covered by the topics above. Short lived production bikes or vehicles, Electrical, Tires, Paint, Brakes, etc. Use this for tech questions, and "Shoot the Bull" for general conversation, no tech.

Can any-one shed some (light) in regards the pressed in logo on the back of a Cycleray head light by guide. I want to know if the one I have in original or not.Has any-one get any pictures to see the difference in logo style.Thanks Keith

The word "Guide" in the middle of the logo. repop lights have block letter, and the originals had script. Is this correct???

No it is not! Original light s came in both script and block versions. They also came in stamped brass and steel as well as four known variations of grounding. Pictures of what you have will help identify it.Robbie

After considerable research, IMHO, original had script, not block! What I did find, is the circular logo, containing "guide" in script, is that the stamping isn't necessarly orientated the same, out of the 360 degree options. The head light mounted verticle, as designed, the stamped logo could very well be at 6 oclock, or 12, or 10 oclock, or across at 4.40 Random!! HmmmThanks Keith
